Hotpoint CTD40 tumble dryer , will not switch on , has no power, checked all the obvious , fuses, plug ,socket wiring , can anyone help

Check the mains lead for continuity! Thats making sure the lead to the dryer is not broke anywhere internally.
It may mean removing panel to get access to where the mains lead goes into the dryer, You can do this with power off, check with a multimeter that both the brown wire and blue wire as well as the green and yellow earth wire has continuity from the plug to the dryer!!

You may have to open the unit up to see if a hose has come off.

if i remember rite ctd40 has three stats over heater 1 has pin hole in top push needle in hole to reset it and take needle out then try ive done this on sum

that isn't a model number,open the door to the dryer,look around the opening where you put the clothes in and send the full model number,

either your heating element,hi-limit switch,cycling switch, thermal fuse, or missing one leg of input power i.e.120volts instead of 240 volts

Sounds like short circuit you could disconnect element wire to see if still blows if not its the element, if still then elsewhere...

do you hear anything running?,might have broken the belt or idler wheel,motor runs but no tumble,need to look inside,warning !! unplug ,high voltage.be carefull

A tumble dryer that isn't heating up at all needs checking with a continuity test meter. The most common cause is a heating element failure, or t.o.c's going open circuit. It depends on which make and model of tumble dryer you have as to how easy it is to get to the relevant parts. Some tumble dryers have heating elements that are easily accessible by removing the back panel, and can be tested for continuity or checked for obvious breakage. Others though have their heating elements inside, which aren't accessible without stripping the dryer down. Tumble dryer heating elements are always protected by thermal fuses which are usually simple devices with 2 wires connected. They can be tested for continuity with a test meter
or
If power is getting to the tumble dryer and the socket is definitely OK, then the most common problem with tumble dryers not working is when the door micro switch fails, or the catch on the door that operates the switch either breaks or no longer activates the door switch. Check for broken door catches. There is usually a plastic peg on the door that pushes through a hole in the tumble dryer's casing where the door catch is. Closing the door should operate a simple micro switch. If the plastic peg is broken or bent it might not operate the switch properly

If you can hear the motor going, then the belt probably needs replacing, if no motor action, then prob is more serious.

Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
